I was at Ojota garage waiting for my bus to get filled when a man using crutches [Has one leg] came by, he saw that i was on phone and left.. Minutes later he came again.. I was like 'guy free me, i no get money' and he was like shey na change? I go give you change'. He later left wen i almost got angry... I was later feeling kind of guilty when he left.. So i decided to throw the question to you guys.. Do you feel guilty after refusing to give a begger money? |

actually i don't, since its my money & i chose to spend it how i want to. But judging frim the way the begger treated u wit respect - seeing u were on phone, he left & came back wen u were free - u shd have given him something. Not to mention d fact dat he was truly handicapped. 8 Likes |

I used to, but not untill of recent when i learn't something from a begger. I came across a begger( in his mid 40s) who stood in front of me asking me for a euro. This is the term he used. ''Hello, how can a grown up man be waking along the street without even a euro in my pocket? do you have just 1€ for me?'' so i felt something, and i quickly checked if i had something in my purse, fortunetely for him, the list i had was 2€ coin, so i handed the coin over to him, he thanked me and we went towards the opposite direction, suddenly, i heard the same man asking another lady with the same term he used when he asked me, so i looked back, the same man, since i wasn't in haste, so i decided to hang around and watch him for about 8-10minutes, i found out that the smart guy has made over 30bucks within that short period of time by asking almost every one he came across. Probably that is his major job. Greedy beggers like that deserves nothing more that a shun. 3 Likes |

I only give if my mind tells to give... Just of recent, I was having a chat with a filling station attendant close to my resident & he showed me about a beggar who uses there station as his base had built a block of 4 flats in a suburb of lagos.. All the proceeds he made from begging was channel to this project.. And over 70% of those who give alms are still tenants.. Though that haven't stopped me from giving if I feel like, but if I must give, their are some pre requisites, you must suffer from visible & physical disability, I can't give my hard earned money to someone who has a complete body part 1 Like |

J0nyb0y:you are really on point, those peeps constitute nuisance on the street of lagos, You see them with babies, and they are all in good health without any missing organ... Meaning they are living a normal life and procreating at night... They shouldn't only be deported to their state but jailed & sentenced to perform some community services before been deported.. 4 Likes |

Sure I do feel guilty just like u. I had an experience like that when I was at sch. A girl on a wheelchair ask me for money and I ignored her. When I go to a distant close to my hotel, my conscience pricked seriously that I had to go back to the girl and give. But I do allow my mind to direct me sha. Because fake blind beggars de oh.  |

NO! Its not like I owe them any money... But I do feel sorry for the child beggars on the streets[/color].. I dont give them any money simply because I feel like it would encourage them to keep begging, plus I feel like they are being used by a syndicate.. 2 Likes |

Even when i dn't hv, i used 2 feel damn bad cos i wished 2 help bt culdn't. Now, i do help bt in kind rather dan cash bt even whn it requires cash, i will ask d begger wht he/she wants & probably get it 4 dem if i can. I learnt dis attitude after listenin 2 a certain confession where d confessor said that even d devil disguises in such a way and use the tactics to enslave those that render help bt said if u must help any begger, pray in ur heart b4 doin so cos God listens 2 our hearts. Guess wht?? I once saw a begger on my street @ Idumu, Lagos in d yr 2009. D man was very neatly dressed bt had one of his legs amputated @ sight, i feelt real bad bt was nt having anythin on me so i quickly rushed in & asked my sister for change then she gave ₦50 quickly, i prayed that if d man uses it 4 gud may he get it in hundred folds bt if otherwise, may i never be affected so i gave him d money. Behold after about 15mins my elder sister came in & said that some one ran mad after giving money 2 a begger about six streets away from ours & that really got me wondering if it was the same man i helped. Inconlusion, be careful in all things even when helping people even if they are ur tribe cos things are really happing this end time. May God direct us! 2 Likes |

They only beggars I can't give my #1 are those Hausas/Fulanis who roam d streets especially in Owerri here which I presume to be almajiri. Hw can they be begging cos their ( religion of peace they say) makes it obligatory for them to embark dehumanising venture. Even after giving them money, u will see them d next day with seven children constituting nuisance to public peace.hw those women get pregnant & why can't their husbands take care of them & who is their husbands?
